I have been told I need ball joints in the front end .........is this a dangerous situation?[/quote:ad2aaec64c]

Depending on how worn the ball joints are, it can be a dangerous situation. A worn ball joint will eventually wear to the opint that it will seperate, and cause loss of steering control.
